Not one to be without a get rich quick scheme for long, Wario has been busy since his dismissal from WarioWare. He found the gambling business particularly appealing and starts up a casino for betting on the races. Presenting, the grand opening of Wario's High Score casino and resort!

Kirby Rally- Turn Two

1st      2nd       3rd       4th       5th     6th      7th      8th

Action Phase

Aim for an item box!

AGGRESSIVE DRIVING!


Shy Guy feels the looming threat of a Blue Shell, and resolves to put as much distance between himself and anyone else as possible! [6] His speedy Kart zips forward, fully capitalizing on the energy from his start and launching himself down the track with THREE Momentum and a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

I assume the blue shell chooses target in the player action phase,so does that mean that if I pass shi guy the blue shell will still hit him and not me, right?

If yes,

Drive aggressively and see if I can get an item box.

If my assumption is not right and the shell would change targets, drive defensively.

The Blue Shell targets whoever is in first place at the instant it is launched, yes.

Meta Knight sees Shy Guy speeding away, [5] and mustering his not-inconsiderable racing talents, he follows, gaining TWO Momentum and suffering a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Quote from: Dwarmin
...reconnecting...

Oomph holds position, Driving Defensively and gaining a +1 bonus to avoid being Passed, and a +1 bonus against attacks!

drive aggressively, go for an item box.

Pikachu puts pedal to the metal, [2] but finds himself once more cut off by Oomph! He is forced to ease up on the accelerator to avoid a collision, gaining no Momentum and taking a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks.

Drive aggressively and try to pick up an item box if possible.

Conker pushes his Kart to its limits, [6] bursting forward with THREE Momentum as he looks for his opportunity to pass Pikachu, taking a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Olimar smiled as the fools fell behind him. They underestimated the cruel yet colorful landscape.

"BZZZT. Loot detected ahead. Preparing ramming course"

Olimar drafted behind Conker. He would get to the loot first.

As Conker blazes down track into the wind, Olimar sneaks into his slipstream, looking for his opportunity to pass! [2]+1+1vs[2]+4 Unfortunately for Olimar, however, Conker pulls away too quickly for him to enjoy any significant speed increase!

(why am I not surprised)

A poor start left Captain Falcon in the dust, but the thing about these kinds of races is that you're never in last for very long.

Aggressive driving!

The savvy Captain Falcon is well aware that a poor start is quite possible to overcome- it's how he qualified for the Star Cup, after all! Still, there are plenty of drivers between him and the leaders, so there's no time like the present to start working up the leaderboard!

[1] As Falcon finishes his musing, however, he is caught off-guard by the swerving Olimar! Instinctively reacting to a perceived attack, the bounty hunter's combat reflexes send him skidding into the grass, losing ONE Momentum as he takes a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Drive aggressively, use shell, go for item box.

Link sends his Blue Shell skyward, and it shrieks toward the front of the pack, primed to strike Shy Guy at the end of the next Action Phase!

[1] With that, Link continues his bizarre game of follow the leader with Captain Falcon, following him into the loose turf by the side of the road! He loses ONE Momentum and takes a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks as he hopes for a new Item to fill his inventory!



1st      2nd       3rd       4th       5th     6th      7th      8th
Movement Phase

Shy Guy has put himself in prime position to Pull Ahead after his fast start! [4]-6+6 HE SUCCEEDS, blazing around the GREEN Curve and heading for the RED forest in a repeat of his Cerulean Speedway Breakaway, losing FOUR Momentum for his success!

Meta Knight attempts to follow Shy Guy on his meteoric path, [1]-6+5 but simply cannot match the exceptional speed of Shy Guy! He leads the rest of the racers into GREEN!

Oomph is Driving Defensively, hoping to hold position!

Pikachu lacks the Momentum to pass Oomph!

Conker rapidly catches up to Pikachu, [1]+4vs[5]+1 but the alert Pokemon quickly blocks Conker's path, preventing him from passing!

Olimar is in no position to pass Conker!

Captain Falcon's wheels are spinning as he works his way back onto the track!

Link works desperately to get back on track, [2] but he can't get out of the turf! He Falls Back, helplessly watching the other racers speed away!

Cleanup Phase

Shy Guy gets a shot at the Item Boxes on his way through [color=FF00FF]PINK[/color], [6]-1+2 easily taking one! [7] He receives a Fake Item Box- he'll have to use it quickly, though, before the Blue Shell hits!

Meta Knight is next in line for an Item Box, [5]-1+2-1 handily snagging another box! [7]+2+1 He picks up a Triple Banana, and begins dragging them behind his Kart!

Oomph carefully lines up on an Item Box, [2]+1+2-2 but is frustrated as Meta Knight takes the box he was aiming for!

Pikachu tries for an Item Box, [4]-1+2-2 but is still recovering from his duel with Conker!

Stymied by Pikachu, Conker hopes for an Item Box to help him out, [5]-1+2-2 and swerves across the track to snag one! [11]+8+1 He begins dragging a Red Shell behind his Kart!

Olimar follows his sensitive Loot Finding gear to an Item Box, [1]+2-3 but is angered to see Conker cut across the track to take the Box he was aiming at!

Captain Falcon gets back on the road, setting his Momentum to ONE! He hopes for an Item Box to help him out, [2]-1+2-3 but finds no Boxes available for him to take!

Link, after much to-do, finally manages to get back on the pavement at the beginning of PINK! His Momentum is set to THREE as he begins his climb back up the Leaderboard!

Welcome to the party! I'll roll up your sponsor info when it isn't 1 in the AM, if you'll forgive the delay.

How exactly does Juggernaut work, anyway?  Does it change the Ram Driver action to accept a target?  Unless you're in first or last, the person you'd be ramming is ambiguous.  If for example, you're in first and Juggernaut-ram the person behind you, are they still prevented from passing you in the pass phase?

Yeah, that was worded poorly. It has been rewritten to specify that it only works on the Driver ahead of the user.

* Monk pokes the toaster

A pair of out-of-context actions if ever I've seen one.

A blue shell. On turn one. :o

This race is going to be one for the gamblers XD

This made me laugh, given Fortis' Sponsor submission. Not to mention Tiruin worrying about a Blue Shell right in his first action- the dice have a cruel sense of humor, it appears.

"Blue shell blue shell blue shell blue shell..."

The thought of it's coming was just like ambling around in a straight line, seeing that one vegetable angle towards you in a 45 degree straight...

But he was ahead, and that was all that would matter.

Now...what could return his speed after a strike to the kart?

I miss you, Mario...

Spoiler: Traumatizing image (click to show/hide)

And it smiled...

This path was a hazardous one...and it would strike soon. He had little to no chance of outdriving the shell, a fat chance indeed. That item box won't provide any defense against an aerial deathstrike...

Oh how fate hated the species of the Shy Guy...

It's Deja Vu all over again!

Drop fake item box as an obstacle.

Yell my signature quote as I get hit by that shell.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING!


((Heh, researched the Shy Guy, the only game of Mario I've played long enough to memorize it was the first game he appeared in!  :P))

Olimar slams his monitor.

"How could you plot that course wrong!? You're designed to find and scavenge loot. It's your only purpose!"

"That and terrifying you. There's a Bulborb out there Olimar, searching for you. Raaaaw-"

"Shut up!"

Filled with rage, Olimar drives aggressively to pick up lost speed on the safe curve.

(how come meta knight had a -1 bonus on the item box hit when shy guy had a +2 bonus? Shouldn't he have had a +1 bonus, which by extension would have given me and Oomph -1 and 0 modifiers respectively(and items)?)

Giving the panel of his kart racer a good kick, Captain Falcon tried to keep in the race. The real Blue Falcon was a thousand times more reliable than this hunk of PVC pipes with an engine ducked taped to it. he puts petal to whatever this floor is made out of and plays catch up with the rest of the racers.

Kirby Rally- Turn Three

1st      2nd       3rd       4th       5th     6th      7th      8th

Action Phase

Drop fake item box as an obstacle.

Yell my signature quote as I get hit by that shell.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING!


Shy Guy hears the familiar shriek of an incoming Blue Shell, and immediately drops his Fake Item Box to slow pursuit! He begins Driving Defensively, hoping to dodge the Hell Shell!

Not good, I have to follow that Shy Guy or I will waste the opportunity that the blue shell will give me.I'll use the bananas to slow the others down.

Drive agressively and deploy the bananas

Back in GREEN, Meta Knight presses onward, hoping to seize the opportunity presented by the passing Blue Shell! Dropping his entire payload of bananas, [3] he finds that he has paid too much attention to peel placement, and is unable to gain any Momentum! He suffers a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks as he strives to maintain his position!

"Vroooom!" Oomph vroom'd.

Action: Powerslide!

Oomph swings into a Powerslide, [2]+1 but is too busy making engine noises to properly execute the intricate maneuver! On the plus side, they are very intricate engine noises indeed.

(how come meta knight had a -1 bonus on the item box hit when shy guy had a +2 bonus? Shouldn't he have had a +1 bonus, which by extension would have given me and Oomph -1 and 0 modifiers respectively(and items)?)

If you look back, Shy Guy had [] +2 +0, Meta Knight had [] +2 -1, Oomph had [] +2 -2, and etc. Note that since Oomph didn't hit a box, his modifier for that was the same as yours- his overall bonus was higher than yours because he was Driving Defensively and you were Driving Aggressively.

drive aggressively

Pikachu puts the threatening Conker out of his mind, keeping his focus on the track ahead! [6] His discipline pays off as he hews a tight path right along the inside edge of the curve, gaining THREE Momentum and taking a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

"Darn you Pikachu!"

Powerslide and launch shell after passing Pikachu. If I don't pass Pikachu during my powerslide fire the shell anyways.

Conker goes into a Powerslide, [4]+1 boosting around the outside portion of the track and zipping ahead with a +1 bonus to Pass Checks! Unfortunately, the speedy Pikachu has picked up the pace, preventing a pass attempt- but Conker still has that Red Shell! [2]+3vs[6]-1 Reacting quickly, however, Pikachu swerves at the last instant, causing the Red Shell to miss and crash into a roadside shrub, harmlessly deactivating the homing device!

Filled with rage, Olimar drives aggressively to pick up lost speed on the safe curve.

[5] Seeing Conker unsuccessfully harry Pikachu, Olimar steers his Rocketeer to a hard inside line, gaining TWO Momentum and taking a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Giving the panel of his kart racer a good kick, Captain Falcon tried to keep in the race. The real Blue Falcon was a thousand times more reliable than this hunk of PVC pipes with an engine ducked taped to it. he puts petal to whatever this floor is made out of and plays catch up with the rest of the racers.

Drive Agressively

[5] Captain Falcon mimics Olimar's path- following it exactly, as a matter of fact! He too gains TWO Momentum and takes a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Aggressive Driving!

Back in PINK, Link struggles to make up ground, [3] but he's still shaken from his rough start! He gains no Momentum as he suffers a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Quote from: Blue Shell
:D


The Blue Shell arrives at the front of the pack, circling above Shy Guy before striking downward! [5]+6vs[6]+1 Despite some excellent maneuvering, the Blue Shell is too fast! Shy Guy flies into the air, losing FIVE Momentum!



1st      2nd       3rd       4th       5th     6th      7th      8th
Movement Phase

Shy Guy is reeling from the Blue Shell, and struggles not to Fall Back! [2]-3+1 Unfortunately, the little birdies are still twirling about his head, and he Falls Back as he tries to regain his senses! His Momentum is set to THREE!

Meta Knight is leading the charge out of GREEN, and has the opportunity to pass Shy Guy as he sits reeling just over the RED border! [6]+5vs[4]+3+1 He passes easily, taking firm hold of FIRST PLACE and losing ONE Momentum!

Oomph swerves to dodge the as Meta Knight drops his bananas, [3]-1 but cannot avoid the yellow menace, Spinning Out and losing ONE Momentum!

Pikachu cuts back outside in a bid to avoid the bananas, [4]-1 but his headlong plunge down-track gives him too little time to react! He Spins Out, losing ONE Momentum! Inertia carries him forward, however, and he still has an opportunity to pass the spinning Oomph! [5]+3vs[6]+1 He squeaks by on the inside, taking Third Place and losing ONE Momentum!

Conker [3]+1 barely maneuvers around the troublesome fruit, keeping his eyes on the prize and moving to pass Oomph! [4]+4vs[6]+1 He quickly moves past the dizzy Koopa, claiming Fourth Place, losing ONE Momentum and making a move on Pikachu! [5]+3vs[2]+2 He pushes past the Pokemon, losing ONE Momentum as he stakes his claim to Third Place!

Olimar [5]+1-2 easily avoids the final banana despite his Poor Handling, and moves to pass the rapidly tumbling Oomph! [3]+3vs[3]+1 He handily gets by, taking Fifth Place and riding Pikachu's bumper!

Captain Falcon [2]+1-1 can't avoid the last banana on the track, Spinning Out and losing ONE Momentum! He still has a shot to pass Oomph, however, [3]+2vs[5]+1 but he can't recover from the banana in time to capitalize on the Koopa's troubles!

Link drives madly, [6]-6+3 falling just short of being able to catch up!

Cleanup Phase

Link hits the Item Boxes at the end of PINK, [2]+2-1 missing them in his haste to pursue an optimal racing line to catch up!
